Sherry Escudero, LMHC

Sherry Escudero is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings two decades of experience in counseling and a steady, person-focused style to sessions. Sherry aims to make people feel heard and supported when they reach out for help.

She has worked in community clinics, foster care settings, and with military-affiliated clients. That variety shaped how she sees problems and solutions in everyday life. Her work has included addressing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress, and trauma and abuse.

Sherry uses a client-centered stance that places the relationship at the center of the work. She prioritizes making sure the person feels comfortable and that the match feels right. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit what the individual needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one of the approaches she relies on to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also emphasizes listening, validation, and practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

People who come to her often want concrete strategies for coping and clearer communication in their lives. She supports work on stress, self-esteem, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD-related struggles, caregiver strain, workplace problems, and issues common to young adults. Sherry encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Sherry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, focusing on listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship that helps people feel supported and understood.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions. Together they decide whether CBT exercises, open conversation, or a mix of both fits best, and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer work; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat and messaging can work for quick check-ins, short reflections, or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change.
